This book is superb. I have been searching everywhere for it , and now it has been reprinted i finally own a copy.The book itself is classy, with lots of superb design work, although perhaps not as much straightforward artwork as i might of hoped. It's one of those books where every time you look at it, you see something new that you didn't notice before. The designwork is very original with cool layouts, different paper textures, paper cut into different shapes to create a scrapbook effect, foldout pages and even stickers(but would you dare deface your copy?).If you are interested in design , or even graffiti art, i recommend this book. I also recommend you checking out 'Buro Destruct' , another excellent design book. Enjoy!

this is good! not page after page showing piece after piece. mr drury has done a fantastic job producing a showcase for futura's work. to call it simply, a book would do it an injustice!! it's a mo wax fest!! which is never a bad thing! i don't want to go on about the design, as i've only got 1,000 words and it speaks for itself - amazing!! futura's work accompanied hand in hand with top notch design!! 10/10... and with six of your english pounds knocked off, you can't go wrong!

If you love everything to do with street culture, design and music then you've love this book. Ben Drury has done an excellent job in collating various works from the great New York grafitti artist/designer, Futura. It documents his work right from the late seventies through to the present day and covers all his work with the Mo Wax record label. The book itself is a great piece of design with pull out sections, stickers and stunning photography to boot. Put simply, its a must have book

Nice but a little disappointing
I was looking forward to this one having waited a long time for someone to publish a book of Futura's work. However this book fails to do his work justice. Read more
